Howls of wind and noise surround me as I step into the forest. There's a rich earthy smell of the rain that's unrelentingly pouring down right around me. It hits my nose with full force. My clothes are soaked, and my shoes squelch awfully beneath my feet as they make contact with the muddy ground. I can't linger on it though. It doesn't matter about the weather, I have to do this. Everything I've come to depend on relies on me now.
"You're not welcome here." A voice says, echoing over and over in my ears, the words shaking me to my core. My blood runs cold, this wasn't what was supposed to happen. They can't say that already, I haven't even had the chance to open my mouth.
I start to hear what sounds like something moving from behind me. Cautiously, I spin around to find that I'm in fact surrounded by hundreds of luminescent eyes. They are watching me, yet I can't attach them to anything; human or otherwise. I take a deep breath; I can handle them. For them I have to.
"I'm like you." I say, my voice pleading. Though they were seeming less and less like me the more I looked at them, "Please, listen to me."
"No."
Before I can continue my protest, the eyes come towards me, and I'm engulfed in their shadows.

"Your Luke right, the new student?" The frizzy haired office lady asks as she stares at me from under her horned rim glasses. Her fingers circle the keyboard aimlessly as she waits for my response.
"Sure am." I say with a sigh. Straight away she starts shuffling around the mess of files on the desk. Well here goes nothing. 'New year, new school' had been my motto for my entire schooling life. Today was my first day at yet another new school and I was hopeful that maybe things would work out better this time and perhaps I wouldn't need to move away.
You see my family moves around a lot, so I've never really stayed in a town for more than a year. They did consider home-schooling me at one point but then decided the need for me to have social interaction with people my own age outweighed that. Honestly sometimes I just feel like telling them to give up on that dream. It's hard to make 'long lasting' friendships when your only in a place for a short time.
Sure, I'll be honest. Over the years I've had loads of friends in all my previous schools. However it's hard to maintain them knowing that in six to twelve months I was probably never going to see any of them again. My phone had been buzzing all weekend with texts from my friends from my last school, but I knew they'd all die down eventually.
At least changing school about once or twice each year, also meant a fresh start. It was always nice to find yourself in a position where nobody had expectations of you to be a certain person. You could be whoever you wanted, the past no longer mattered.
"Welcome to Rosetta Park High, we hope you'll enjoy your time here with us over the next few years." She spoke again this time with a cheery smile as if I'd won an award for being forced to attend here.
My six to twelve months here was more likely the way my parents made us move about. I didn't say that though. Maybe this time things would be different; but I doubted it. Despite my protests some years, I'd never been allowed to stay behind at any of the schools I'd been to. In my family, the only one who had was my older brother who stayed behind at the school before last so that he could finish off the last year there. Then he'd moved onto university, so I still didn't see him much.
"Everything seems in order, so Calum here will show you around now." She said, her head turned to something beside me. I followed her gaze to find a guy my age standing beside me, I'd barely noticed his presence until that moment. He had dark brown almost black hair, his eyes staring at me like poison darts. He looked kind of angry at me for some reason. His arms were crossed firmly across his chest. My stomach tightened, he didn't seem like the friendly type. Was this really who they expected to show me around this place? Was everyone here like this?
